440 Dakota

I would buy several Power Wagons, a couple Vegas and Mavericks in race trim only wouldn't be interested in stock versions

I was thinking the exact same thing while looking at Luc's posting and enjoying Cherrios this morning knowing no way would we get a separate frame or 2wd remake of this, so got to thinking what has a separate frame and is 2wd with similar size and all I could think as a possibility is van kits, so what does everyone think about modifying one to fit the truck body ?? I don't really build vans so don't have any here to try out

agreed there is plenty of 5 lug stuff maybe they could do some 6 lugs in a Chevy kit of some sort, that's mostly what I remember them being on and anything other than what was included last time will be a welcome addition for sure, some full wheel covers could be cool as well

Not sure why you would want 6 lug wheels in this vintage Dodge truck kit, never used them on light duty trucks only the import 50 series and then Dakota/Durango till 04 or so

here's a scarce one and I don't think its been mentioned yet, from 1989 yes has some 80's cheese to it but worth watching at least once

my son has an open monster truck at his house and I'm going to try and remember to check it out, gotta find my old long bed chassis to compare

while I'd love to see a long bed guessing its not going to happen, the long chassis plate was modified for the monster truck correct ? so best case I'm hoping for is like mentioned earlier a new short bed tooled up for the LRE kit, but thinking the box art will be changed to a step side and it will be just a LRE reissue kit with new decal and artsy retro box

I've sold a good part of my collection recently on Ebay and will continue to do so, yes the fees for Ebay and Paypal end up being between 18-20% when all said and done, but I've found CL users mostly have garage sale mentality and want to offer little to nothing for items, cant comment on FB I'm not on it, as far as pricing I look at completed auctions and come up an average that a kit sells for and that's my starting price, for shipping I use Priority mail, order free boxes online and recycle newspaper for packing, I've never had a shipping problem, printing your labels from Ebay saves a little money, and when listing an item there's a section to enter package information and it calculates the shipping rate for you which is displayed for the buyer based on location, its always been accurate for me, its all very simple and streamlined

I think the 1st gen Revell S-10 pickup kits and the 2nd Gen AMT S-10 pickups and 2 door blazer kits, I remember these all being on closeouts from distributors now look what their bringing on the secondary market and haven't been reissued to death at least not yet, and no not the Lindberg 1/20th that's currently out

yeah same here the first gens were pretty popular, here's a GT 2 barn find that I picked up last fall

for me its air cooled VW stuff have 3 projects going at this time, 69 Baja Bug, Berrrien rail and a Bradley GT2, then there's the Guitars, Archery, Firearms and 1/4 scale and larger R/C planes balsa and film construction type only

I kinda like the yellow one and have seen the purple Challenger in person and IIRC it was done very well, guessing these were done years before everything has become considered so darn collectible, kinda refreshing to see some of these old customs that actually stand out at shows instead of getting lost in a sea of Camaros, Corvettes or whatever, Goggle them there were/are lots of conversions similar to these

None of the above for me

nope and don't see any reason to, the secondary market will keep us supplied for many years, look how many kits are listed at any given time, almost 130K right now on Ebay automotive, and very few kits are so rare you might never see them again

turning 51 soon and have spent over 44 years passionately enjoying the hobby along with many others, but honestly starting to burn out on it, all the reissues bore me to tears, kinda like been there done that so maybe I'll start giving aircraft, big rigs or trains a try

So have you tried to contact them ? if so how did it go ? was planning to order something but wondering about this

the quick answer is typically when you stick rwd wheels on your fwd they stick out past the fender openings, possibly causing interference, do some reading first maybe here wheel basics scroll down, if your buying new those bbs knockoffs are available in fwd offsets

ours has moved 3 times the past few years and gets smaller with each move so guessing it won't be long, no big deal for me haven't shopped there regularly in years anyway cause prices are too high and weak inventory

Doubtful I'd guess just more of the same old reissues that are re boxed and priced higher at least for a while for, example look at the kits with identical tooling, some of the Porsche and Ferrari kits come to mind, ROG always more expensive this is what I'd expect also at least for any new toolings, but only time will tell for certain and I'm not too upset either way already have more kits than I could build in a couple lifetimes as do a lot of us here the positive is there could be re discovered tooling that truly hasn't been issued in decades that could be brought to market

the old AMT snap fast plus were great for beginners basically went together like promo models, I'm unsure what the secondary market is like on these, for glue the Monogram 1/24 scale stuff, Cuda, RR, GTX Challenger etc all went together easy with simplified suspension parts and tub style interiors

like snap together easy or easier glue kits ??

great build love it, have had a bunch of 1:1 and would build another if they didn't all rot away

lets not forget the giant tow hook guys

not to many of the fart canisters here anymore but the bikers still insist on hitting the throttle at least 20 times at each red light esp the doctor lawyer type Harley owners on their sporties

maybe something marketed toward military or railroad modelers such as
